Nike Breaks Down Serena Williams’ Catsuit

Tennis’ superwoman Serena Williams took to the clay in Paris this week in a striking Nike catsuit for the French Open. Hitting the court in her first grand slam match following the birth of her daughter, Williams wore a sleek black catsuit with her sparkling signature sneakers to honor her dedication to the game and her influence off the court.

The suit’s original design took two years to develop and was initially made to be a power suit to help with recovery. The first design was also blue and was eventually shifted to all-black with a red sash for a superhero-like look. The design also features zoned mesh for breathability and moisture management. Warp knit is also incorporated to added higher support zones and a nice shine to its finish.
